What to do for fun

The office of Student Activities often have live concerts on campus or nearby location to entertain students and community members. There are sporting events scheduled throughout the semesters. In addition to the functions at the school campus, Nyack hold fairs and activities all year around in the community and to attract tourist.The campus surrounding is also safe. If you like, these are some things you can join while there: step team, choir/praise and worship team, different types of cultural clubs, and arts and theater clubs.

Food and Dining

The campus cafeteria is pretty big. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Traditional food items found on a regular menu. Most food stations are set up like a buffet style where you serve yourself, and there's the sandwich station where you have to place your order to the server. After eating, you clean up your area and take your dishes and silverware to the conveyer belt to be transported to the kitchen.

Dorm Life

I commute to school almost daily. My main experience is with the traffic on I 87 in the morning. The traffic is the most heavy between 7:30a - 8:30a, so if you have to commute, just be aware of the traffic. The students who do dorm on campus expressed that they enjoy being there. Some of the students in my classes spoke highly of the RA's. Those students really loved that dorm life! The campus is safe. Security personal often patrol the premises in their vehicles.

Academic Rigor

Nyack College is a Christian school known for being involved in missionary work locally and oversea. The courses emphasize the importance of being involved in the community locally and abroad. I would give Nyack College two thumbs up for all they do in the community. Your academic adviser should be your go to source, and the site is a great place to obtain information as well.

Tips for prospective students

Know what you want to major in and follow the curriculum. Take advantage of the resources offered at the school to help with academics.

In three sentences

Welcoming, outreaching, accepting, and diverse atmosphere. Professors are exceptional when it comes to helping their students. Ideal location, especially for those who like to commute in and out NYC.

Campus Safety

Campus Safety is regarded as one of the most vital necessities at Nyack. Classes are usually cancelled due to inclement weather to assure the safety of the students. The auxiliary unit at Nyack is very attentive and responsive.

Greek Life

Greek Life at Nyack is not very common.

Clubs and Activities

There are many sports teams and clubs to join.

Great for these types of students

Great for students who wish to attend a Christian college, as well as great for athletes who want to get into a good school and play. Nyack is very open to everyone.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are these folktales that circulate the school about witch trails. They are said to be located in the woods right by Hillside.

Bang for the buck

Although the dorms are not modernly designed and the food is sub par, the student life and experience is definitely worth the expense.

What to do for fun

There are many sports clubs offered at Nyack. There is a women's soccer team, as well as a lacrosse team, and there are baseball and basketball teams. There are various other clubs in the school aside from sports as well.. Nyack College at Rockland is located approximately ten minutes away from the renown Palisades mall. This mall is the second largest shopping mall in the New York Metropolitan area.

Food and Dining

The food is not five star gourmet cuisine at Nyack. I would advise to stack up on homemade foods or be willing to eat out often, (which can be expensive).

Dorm Life

The Rockland county campus contains beautiful acres of nature. One should expect to walk up and down hills between their dorms and class rooms. There are no A.C's inside student dorms on the account of the cold weather that is rampant during the winter season. Students would be advised to dress accordingly to the winter weather. There can be a large number of snow days in which classes are cancelled.

Academic Rigor

The professors strive to help students discover their highest potential.

Tips for prospective students

Understand that is a Christian based school, and so prayers and biblical allusions are often made. Also, something called Chapel will be mandatory to attend. It serves as a mini service like Church.

In three sentences

Nyack College provides an environment that advocates academic excellence and social unity. As a student at Nyack, you should expect to be embraced by your professors and fellow classmates, as well as feel encouraged to achieve your full potential. It is a Christian oriented school, but it is very welcoming and open to all.

Campus Safety

The only reason the school's security is even as good as it is now is because we had an incident that got onto the local news. Before that I believe there was only one person that drove around. Each student receives a key that's pretty darn elaborate though so it's not horrible though i do know that there are students who have found ways to sneak in after curfew or if the didn't have their ID; if students can sneak in, anyone can...

Greek Life

None....

Clubs and Activities

There aren't that many clubs. Some of them aren't even consistent with meetings. The activities make up for it though, they have had a Luau, a fondue night, a Fall Dance kind of thing that had an inflatable obstacle course, they've had movie nights and bonfires... yeah.. all that jazz

Great for these types of students

Students that only care about their education and truly want to grow closer to God. You also have to be at peace with having a Freshman Curfew 01:00/1am Sunday-Thursday and you have to sign in/out of your dorm after Midnight.

Bang for the buck

I expected the rooms and the food too be a lot better but the Education itself is awesome. Though a lot of the Computers on campus don't work and many of the projectors need to be fixed often and so many classes have to push their schedule's back because they couldn't get something done on a certain day. As much as we pay we should be able to rely on the Tech here.

What to do for fun

The pier isn't too far away (We're right next to the Hudson River). It's a gorgeous view and it can be fun to go there with friends Downtown isn't too bad but there are more bars than anything and being underage that only leaves you with food places. The Palisades mall is only about 5-10 minutes away and that's likely the most fun you'll have here.

Food and Dining

The hot food line has made me sick more than a little bit, often times my friends and I have seen what there was to eat and decided that we would simply wait until the next meal and pray that there would be something better then. During the week the hours for the meals are bearable but on the weekend everything is only open for an hour and when I say everything I mean only the hotline. The stir-fry and Sandwich line are closed on the weekend. As is the pizza line though that's more of a blessing than a disapointment

Dorm Life

All the dorms are in need of updating. Mosley Hall's water is constantly being shut off because of plumbing issues and their bathrooms are a mess. Christie Hall's rooms are small and the building has no AC. Simpson is the best hall; however, the heating cannot be controlled. You don't turn it on, Buildings&Grounds does and once it's on it stays on and it can be very difficult to get to bed when you're roasting. There is Open Dorms but there are rules and conditions that apply to it, obviously. Did I mention the wifi SUCKS?

Academic Rigor

The classes keep you pretty busy. You can always find ways to get by while doing the minimum, but there's really no reason; the professors don't tend to just give you busy work, everything they give you has a purpose. If you really want to succeed, it's not all that difficult.

Tips for prospective students

Learn how to budget money fast because you're going to need all the money you can get to buy your own groceries or order out. DO NOT attend this school unless you intend to deepen your faith, if you don't want to connect with people or with Christ you're going to HATE it here.

In three sentences

Nyack it a great place to strengthen your walk in God via chapel and themed conferences of sorts. However, the school and the town around it aren't exactly what they seem

Campus Safety

Like every other campus.

Greek Life

Nonexistent. Don't even bother. There are no parties either.

Clubs and Activities

The more humane ones? What does it matter, you're all doing the same thing either way.

Great for these types of students

Pious christians who want to learn other ways of enforcing their beliefs on people who could otherwise do without. And robots. This school is good for robots that can be programmed to do and believe anything without any real questions as to why.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

They visit the burial site of the school's founder. It is mandatory for every student. That is ridiculous. Oh and prayer on the elevator, what?

Bang for the buck

I wouldn't pay to go here. Why would I tell you to?

What to do for fun

Nothing. Unless you are pious christian that enjoy learning about more ways to enforce your belief on unsuspecting victims who otherwise couldn't care? Then you would have fun. But if you are a decent human being, who protests the spread of religion, then don't waste your money.

Food and Dining

It's terrible, but hey, at least it isn't the blood of jesus.

Dorm Life

They have quiet hours. What the heck are quiet hours. Are you 5?

Academic Rigor

They only teach you christian things. And if it is non christian, (like psychology) it will always have a christian aspect.

Tips for prospective students

Conform. If you are atheist (like myself) everyone will expect you to conform to their belief.

In three sentences

I am not planning to attend, But I have been accepted. I applied before researching. Now I am researching, and this is what I have found.

Loriann

You're safe here! There were some coyotes at the end of the winter semester, but they're gone now. Nothing happens on campus so 2 thumbs up for safety!

Greek Life

No fraternities or sororities so don't worry about this.

Clubs and Activities

Very limited, but starting your own club or activity group may not be o hard.

Great for these types of students

This is great for those of you who are really searching for God. This is a great place because you're surrounded by faith and people who will encourage you and want to help you.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

lol they have this thing here called ring before spring. Yes, people come to Nyack in search of their soul mates.

Bang for the buck

Personally, I do not like this school and I will not be attending in the fall of 2014. It's too small and it is not enough to do on campus. Plus, freshmen have curfew (1 a.m)

What to do for fun

There's plenty to do, but you need money. Downtown Nyack is beautiful!! Gather up a couple friends and take the train to the city!!!

Food and Dining

The food for the first two weeks is amazing. Then after that you just dread it! There's no menu so you won't know whats for dinner until you get there. I'm saying it was amazing the first two weeks because I was not here spring semester 2013. You will get sick of the food very quickly. It's the same stuff all the time. The food on the weekend veeeerrrrryyyyyy bad. I don't go to the cafe on the weekends because it is so disappointing. Invest in a refrigerator!

Dorm Life

I'm a Simpson girl!!! Yes, Simpson is the place to be. There's a kitchen, air conditioning and an elevator. (Christie does not have the elevator or air conditioner I don't know about the kitchen) People usually keep to themselves. There's no community feeling though. The rooms are pretty cool. Depending on the room, it may be painted. Mine is yellow.

Academic Rigor

The work is not hard at all. It's the work load that might intimidate you. There are a few professors out there that are a bit difficult like every college, but hey if I could get through it, anyone can.

Tips for prospective students

Well, those of you coming from places that are far away from school good luck! Everyone leaves campus on the weekends and it's boring. My friends leave on the weekends and I'm here alone. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR FUN DO NOT COME TO NYACK! There's NO parties. However, the students on campus try to put fun activities together, but again it's what you make it. The people here are pretty clique-e. The school is small so everyone will know about your mistake if you do not surround yourself with the right people. (people also believe lies here as well) The only way you will enjoy Nyack is under two conditions; do not come in with expectation and really search for God. The people here will be more than happy to pray with you and help you grow in Christ.

In three sentences

Nyack is definitely what you make it. It can be tons of fun or it can be bring. The choice is yours!

Mark from Yorktown Heights, NY

Everyone has a smile on there faces. But I think the best addition to this College is the castle-like doors. Located in Shaman Hall. And Bell Tower.

What to do for fun

To be honest you make your fun fun. I remember walking down the outside stairs looking over to the soccer field, and I saw three students tossing a Frisbee. Before I knew it, I was down there with them.

Food and Dining

I haven't gone in there for breakfast, lunch or dinner. But when i came to visit, the cafe. was amazing and the food was very tasty.

Dorm Life

I dont even live on the campus. But when I visit the Men's Dorm, it's almost as if I totally belong in one of those rooms.

Academic Rigor

There is nothing i could honestly say, it speaks for itself.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking for a wonderful School to attend, then look no further. This place has it all, Very upbeat, and 100% Diverse.

In three sentences

Nyack College is by far the best college I have ever visited. The environment, the vibe, and the whole facility is outstanding. Iwould rate this College 10 out of 10!

Ismael Rivera

At the Manhattan campus there is always a security person at the front desk. The security person always checks for identification and makes students sign in.

Clubs and Activities

They Manhattan campus offers several clubs such as, (Men's club, Prayer club, Women's Ministry and More). Students GPA must meet some requirements, but it's productive for students.

Great for these types of students

Any student that wants to learn more about the Lord and wants to grow, this is a great college for them.

Bang for the buck

Nyack is not that expensive and the school offers many opportunity for scholarships. The people within the financial aid center will work with students to help them with books and tuition.

Food and Dining

Around the school, there are some good places to eat. Pizza restaurants, fast food chains, Starbucks and more. Some places are a bit expensive but for the most part, everything is affordable

Dorm Life

They Manhattan campus offers no room and board.

Academic Rigor

Teachers expect excellence from student, but they will go the extra mile to help students.

Tips for prospective students

I believe the prospective students must be committed followers of Christ. They must look to grow their relationship with Lord. If their mind set is not on Christ, they will feel out of place within the college.

In three sentences

Nyack College is a place where you can find an encounter with God. The school offers students opportunities to grow mentally, physically and spiritually. Teachers care about your academics along with your personal life.

Hector from Yonkers, NY

Bands, Sports, Clubs There's always something to do at Nyack, You will never say I'm Bored

Food and Dining

Wide variety of food in the cafeteria, which offers, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Academic Rigor

Sometimes homework can be overwhelming, but when you learn to pace yourself and focus on one subject at a time. it inevitable for a student to get good grades.

Tips for prospective students

Visit the school, the students are friendly and have a teamwork spirit. Nyack, has locations in Nyack and NYC. The atmosphere in Nyack is relaxing and very enjoyable

In three sentences

The Best Decision I have ever made, In deciding to return to school. The Teachers are very helpful and friendly, even with a big workload. I didn't think going back to school could be fun and challenging at the same time. Nyack is that way.

Campus Safety

Nyack is a great city with little crime so I think that because of this it is a very safe campus. But, just in case there are call centers in the parking lots in case something happens late at night and you don't have a cell phone on you. Also, there is security circling the campus 24/7.

Greek Life

There are no Fraternities or Sororities.

Clubs and Activities

There aren't many clubs on campus, but the ones that are offered are good. For example, there is an Athlete's in Action club open to all but especially geared towards Christian Athletes that meets every Sunday night. There is also intramural basketball and soccer which is very popular and usually gets fairly large crowds for the games.

Great for these types of students

Nyack is great for athletes as it is a NCAA Division II school. Also it is great for Christians because everything is Christ-centered.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a hub on campus that is a student center open most evenings and they usually offer fun activities like milkshake night or board game night. Also, a little known secret is what lies in the woods behind Nyack. There are a number of fire pits in the woods that my friends and I would go to for an evening of s'mores since lighting fires on campus is frowned upon to say the least. Also, there are witch tunnels back in the woods that student can explore that make great photo ops. I wouldn't advise exploring them at night though.

Bang for the buck

It's quite an expensive school but I found they offered quite a lot of scholarships. I'm not quite sure if it's worth the $31,000 a year tuition that they charged when I attended, but I can definitely think of worse places to go for that amount of money.

What to do for fun

When it was warm out I used to love walking into downtown and looking at the small shops or sitting at the ice cream shop or the Starbucks for a snack. NYC is the ideal place to go for fun. A train into the city is only about $16 so its not too bad for a day of fun. My favorite was to go to an improv club in Manhattan that was only $10 Friday nights. The Palisades mall is about 10 minutes away and has just about every store imaginable (except Wal-mart). There's bowling, ice skating, a movie theater, imax, and an obstacle course all in this one mall. One thing I can say about Nyack is the city was the ideal place for a college student to live.

Food and Dining

The food is incredibly bad. The cafeteria is too small, so students have to fight for seating. The caf hours are horrible because even when it is open, chances are they have already taken away the hot food and you're left with bagels or sandwiches. Finally, the overall quality of food is probably about the equivalent to hospital food.

Dorm Life

The dorms are pretty bad. It's an old college so it's understandable that they are lacking, but all of the dorms are in need of some serious renovations. Simpson is the best of the women's dorms because it has AC, an elevator, and lounges on the first floor, fourth floor, and basement. Dunbar is the best men's dorm because it is roomier, newer, and has AC. It is, however, the farthest walk to the academic buildings.

Academic Rigor

For a small private school the academics aren't too shabby. It's definitely not up to par with a large state university, but I've taken classes at a community college over the Summer and Nyack's classes are definitely superior to those classes.

Tips for prospective students

Have a car. It's a great city, but hard to get around. You need a car to get to the mall which is the second largest in the U.S. and only 10 minutes away. Also, you can take a train into NYC, but you have to get over the Tappan Zee to get to the train station, so either way you need a car. Also, take advantage of the Writing Center. Your peers gifted in writing will read and edit your papers for free.

In three sentences

Nyack College has a great Christian atmosphere. The location is perfect being a small college town that is only 40 minutes from NYC. But, the cafeteria food is the worst because they recycle the same ten, bland foods over and over.

Jesse from Brookfield, VT

We have a dedicated security team who does their job day and night, keeping the campus a safe place to be and to learn.

Clubs and Activities

We have a lot of clubs!! We have a club called LostandFound which promotes against human and sex trafficking. we have a horticulture club, promoting and teaching how to grow plants and learn how to use your green thumb. We have a club that goes into the city and helps homeless men and women by spending time with them and providing clothing and food to those who are in need.

Great for these types of students

I find this campus to be great for any student searching for an excellent education and wanting to reach deeper in their faith while being open to diverse cultures incorporated throughout.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have an awesome Student Development office which comes up with quirky events and activities frequently throughout the semester from midnight breakfast to an on campus Assassin game to our annual spring formal.

Bang for the buck

you receive a fair education at Nyack College. It requires a application on our part as students, but they do offer various places for tutoring and we have a excellent Writing Center to help student with those troublesome papers. We offer free counselling services and have an on-campus chiropractor for all of those aches and pains. for only $30,000 we are an excellent school for spiritual growth and development.

What to do for fun

there are so many different things to do around Nyack. Their are many sights to see within the village and being only a half an hour away from the city, you can go and see a Broadway play in a weekend's time. the perks of the college is how close it is to the Big Apple.

Tips for prospective students

Nyack is a place to grow into the person you are called to be. allow yourself time and patience as you study and go into the field you are called to.

In three sentences

Nyack College has very diverse intentions. They help you grow into not just your field but also who you are as a person. i have never found a place quite like this welcoming environment.

Jamie from Castle Creek, NY

The cafe is just like any other school. It's not as good as your mom's cooking.

Dorm Life

Academic Rigor

School is hard everywhere you go, but Nyack and the staff do everything they can to make your classes exciting and enjoyable, and Christ centered.

Tips for prospective students

In three sentences

Nyack has been a place where I have grown so much in my relationship with Christ. Everyone loves each other, and truly cares for and about you. You will experience the love of Christ in a unique and tangible way.

Leonard from New York, NY

I am not fully informed about the fraternities, but I have participated in the literature club, called Men of Letters.

Clubs and Activities

Great for these types of students

This school features degrees in a plethora of fields of study!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We travel to the Nyack, N.Y. home and burial site of the school's founder, A.B.Simpson. It is a mandatory class for each student.

Bang for the buck

Great relationships for future growth and career investment are prime assets at Nyack College!

What to do for fun

Listening to the school's choirs and observing the cultural events on-campus are avenues of fun!!

Food and Dining

There are many eateries within the school's proximity.

Academic Rigor

Nyack College builds character and academic prowess.

Tips for prospective students

I recommend immediate and consistent interaction with course instructors, advisers, and students. Understanding your professors' teaching ways is vital to every scholastic pursuit and developing effective and efficient studying bonds with classmates yields tremendous self-growth. It is also important to lead your on-campus life as the caring and serving Christian you are when at your house of worship and on the harvest field!

In three sentences

Nyack College is a highly uplifting source for personal spiritual and academic growth. The administrators and, especially, the course instructors, inspire persistent self-inspection, academic proficiency, and Christian servant participation. I am truly blessed for making Nyack College my choice for higher educational advancement!

Explore the town of Nyack. It is really a unique place. Take a walk downtown or catch a ride on the bus to the Palisades Center Mall if you're looking for fun off campus.

Food and Dining

There is not a huge variety of different food at the cafeteria, but overall the dining experience is good. There is always the sub sandwich station, pizza station, wstir fry station and salad bar for those students who don't always want to eat what is offered on the hot food line.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is excellent. Dorms are not coed, and there are rules in place which prohibit excessively disturbing behavior such as quiet hours, requiring all residents to not surpass a certain level of noise in their dorms so that the residents neighboring rooms can study or sleep.

Academic Rigor

I am most familiar with the School of Education, being that I am an education major. The courses I took were academically challenging, and prepared me to take and pass all three New York State Teachers' Certification Exams (NYSTEC) on my first attempts. The professors are strict on deadlines, but very understanding and eager to help you to succeed. For that I am very grateful.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be afraid to leave your comfort level. Go out, meet people, and experience all that the college has in store for you.

In three sentences

Nyack College is a great school that seeks to be a welcoming and diverse campus. Although it is a small community, Nyack College offers much opportunity for students to grow in terms of their Christian faith, leadership skills, and in expasion of their personal and professional relationships with fellow students and professors. Nyack College the perfect choice for students who wish to be in a supportive and friendly environment while attempting to complete their degree programs.

Solmarie from Astoria, NY

Nyack has clubs, sports teams and a diversity of activities that will ensure each student has the opportunity to engage beyond their current academic curriculum.

Food and Dining

I am not a dorm student so I cannot rate the food.

Dorm Life

I am not a live-in student.

Academic Rigor

Nyack is dedicated in helping students achieve their goals. They believe in each students' ability to succeed.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking for a college that will not only challenge you academically, but help form you in character and integrity, Nyack is the place to go!

In three sentences

Nyack has a strip of bars and clubs to keep yourself entertained during the weekend.

Food and Dining

The food is delicious and plentiful.

Academic Rigor

I have not been to the classes yet but have heard can be challenging and intriguing.

Tips for prospective students

Go to the chapel study and remain focus.

In three sentences

The campus maybe small but it has charm and beautiful views of the Hudson river. The class size is small allowing more personal attention with the professor. The school has plenty of internships for certain majors and degree programs.

It's really not enough fun things to do on campus. They try...but it never really works out. Nyack has an awesome view of the hudson river and some cliff I don't know the name of.

What to do for fun

Nyack is 5 minutes away from the 3rd largest mall in america

Food and Dining

HORRIBLE! But it's cafe food what do you really expect?

Dorm Life

They at least have single dorms, no bugs and the bathrooms are clean.

Academic Rigor

It's tough but worth it

Tips for prospective students

Be prepared to study hard but go grocery shopping before you do it. Cafeteria food sucks. The teachers are great and are available to help, my only issue is that I have to pretty much sell a portion of my liver to afford to continue my education.

What to do for fun

Every weekend there is some type of fun going on! Our Student Activities Team is awesome! They try their best to fill the wants of the community. There are always flyers around telling of the fun to look forward to!

Food and Dining

The food is alright, very much like high school food. But its always a good social time in the cafe. The school is small, so everyone comes in to each around the same time! Its a fun time at dinner!

Dorm Life

The dorm life depends on where you live and who you chose to have around you. Each dorm has fun monthly activities to be involved in! The buildings are a bit old and run down, but the community overrides that any day! We like to have good genuine fun together!

Academic Rigor

The academics are not that rigorous. The nice thing is that teachers are so helpful and graceful merciful. They want you to do your best and they are very willing to listen and they are understanding!

Tips for prospective students

Come knowing that you will be walking! The campus is very beautiful, but it is a long campus. Also, as with any new college experience, come in knowing what you want. There is an awesome opportunity to grow in your faith with God, but there is also strong temptation to live a double sided life style; one foot in the world and one in your faith. The people are awesome! The college staff truly care about you and want what is best!

In three sentences

Nyack College is a place of opportunity. Nyack College is a small relational school who cares not only about your academics, but your Christian Spiritual life as well. Nyack College is beautifully diverse and is set on a lovely hillside along the Hudson River.

Johanna from Brooklyn, NY

There's different clubs in the school, field trips, and services and meetings for net working and connections, and they have christian services at least two times a week.

Food and Dining

around the outside of the school there are plenty of places you can get food to eat. Some are priced high, some are reasonable.

Dorm Life

I do not life in a dorm.

Academic Rigor

Very much strict, and demands from student the best they can give not just enough to get by.

Tips for prospective students

Do not wait to the last minute to get your papers done, they look like it may be simple, but it takes a lot of dedication and work. Try not to be absent, it would make you get off track.

In three sentences

Very demanding work load, and strictness of application advised. Cares about the students stress level and overall health. It is a Christian college so before each class begins a prayer is said and after class too.

Joanna from Flushing, NY

Shop! Espeically, if you are in the Manhattan Campus, you are in the heart of SoHo. If you are few hours early, shop; after class, shop!

Food and Dining

You get to cook your own omelet. That's already a plus!

Academic Rigor

Teachers expect high, but they are not afraid to help with your academic needs.

Tips for prospective students

Ask! Don't be shy to ask for extra credits! Teachers in Nyack College wants you to pass!

In three sentences

If you are a Christian, loves going to church and loves school. Nyack is for you! Worship and praise in the elevators (usually Monday), teachers who actually care about your academic achievements, and students who would not mind helping to achieve.

Hang out, go and watch movies on Palisades Mall, and study to build the time machine!

Food and Dining

Food? Ew, it stinks! But hey, we can hang out and do something for fun!

Dorm Life

I don't mind stayin' in dorm but policy is terrible! Hey, i found that anyone who doesn't go to the meeting get pay $250.00 fines & Mike Cush doesn't allow RAs to give cellaphones!

Academic Rigor

Very good but Stephen Bennett and James Danaher are very bad! Hey, Stephen just teaches and never cares anyone! Danaher just curses like a crazy man! But guess what? Professor Linda Warren rocks, baby!

Tips for prospective students

Hey, guys! Get to know professors, classes, and majors in advance!

In three sentences

Hey, Nyack College rocks! I wish its institute should offer more courses on our majors during the summer and every school semester.

Anyone who is looking to strengthen his/her relationship with God! The campus is small, but it is great for people who want a tightly-knit community!

Tips for prospective students

Make friends with your admissions counselor! Everyone in admissions is happy to talk to you about anything. However, you need to show them that you are interested by asking questions. Confirm that they received your application, pastoral recommendation, etc.

Bang for the buck

Nyack is a lot cheaper than most schools. Make sure you ask a lot of questions about financial aid though! They cannot help you unless you ask!

Am enjoying being here

I love Nyack so much! I transferred here from Messiah College. This school really fit my needs. It was just far away enough for me to be independent, but it was close enough for me to go home when I needed to go home!

Am learning a lot

I am not just learning a lot academically, but spiritually as well! Nyack has taught me how to be independent in my faith. I have learned how to think like an adult and apply my knowledge to my faith, and vice versa!
